Films such as ""The Naked Witch"", ""Zontar"", ""The Thing From
Venus"" and ""Mars Needs Women"" gained large cult followings, and
movies like ""A Bullet For Pretty Boy"", ""Free, White and 21"" and
""Goodbye Norma Jean"" became box office hits. Still, no other
independent filmmaker of the latter 20th century may elicit such a
disparity of responses from general movie audiences and cult film
buffs alike as the late, legendary Larry Buchanan. This study, the
first serious examination of Buchanan's body of work, addresses
consistent themes such as the end of suburbia, the rebel outsider,
the oppressive establishment, the curse of fame, and creatures of
destruction. The highly political subtext found in virtually every
one of the filmmaker's projects is also explored. Chapters are
devoted to more than 20 of Buchanan's films; information on some of
the unfinished, unreleased (and in at least one case), deliberately
destroyed projects is offered, as well. Photographs illustrating
nearly all the films are also included.
